Speaking to the jury, Judge Davies said: “Take as much time as you need to reach the verdicts.

“You must reach unanimous verdicts, the circumstances for accepting a majority decision have not yet been reached.”

Before sending the jury out, the judge continued summing up the case against Davies and finished with the evidence involving Ennis.

Davies, who was carrying a knife at the time of the murder, has claimed he did not injure anybody with it and just wanted to scare Mr Mason. There was no animosity between rival drug gangs he has claimed.

Judge Davies said Ennis had described the murder of Mr Mason as “30 seconds of madness”.

The defence had argued CCTV showed 31-year-old Ennis was only at the passenger door of the Renault Kangoo Mr Mason was in, for seven seconds and there was no evidence he was in possession of a knife.

He admitted having a history of drug offences but never carried a weapon and had never committed violence.

Ennis had also denied a prosecution claim the defendants were covering for each other.
